Good. One of the biggest tragedies of modern British history is the apparent implosion of her homegrown nuclear industry. The recent 'new' nuclear power station debacles using French and Japanese technology paid for by the French and Chinese governments are beyond embarassing. Rolls Royce has been banging the ‘small modular fission reactor’ drum for a while now [1] — i'd love to see a discussion about the concept's merits or otherwise. We need smart, adventurous thinking on power generation to fill the gap before fusion comes on line (fingers crossed) — the UK has one of the healthiest renewable markets in the world, I see no reason we shoudn't be pushing nuclear alongside. Just smart nuclear, not dumb monolthic last generation nuclear with little benefit for local industry. - ed [1] https://www.rolls-royce.com/products-and-services/nuclear/small-modular-reactors.aspx#/ https://www.rolls-royce.com/products-and-services/nuclear/sm...
